Debt Recovery

Recovery, enforcement and arrangements.

01 Letters of Demand

A properly drafted letter of demand is often the first step towards recovering an outstanding debt. We prepare formal demand letters requiring payment within a specified timeframe and setting out the legal consequences of non-payment.

02 Statutory Demands

We prepare and serve statutory demands against companies in accordance with applicable insolvency laws. A statutory demand can be an effective tool in encouraging payment and may form the basis for subsequent insolvency proceedings where the debt remains unpaid.

03 Debt Recovery Claims

We represent creditors in pursuing recovery proceedings before the competent courts and tribunals. We assist clients in assessing recovery options, preparing legal proceedings and pursuing judgments against defaulting debtors.

04 Enforcement of Judgments

Obtaining a judgment is often only part of the recovery process. We assist clients in enforcing judgments through the various enforcement mechanisms available under Mauritian law to maximise the prospects of recovery.

05 Saisie Revendication

We advise and represent clients in relation to saisie revendication proceedings and other legal remedies designed to protect ownership rights and facilitate the recovery of assets or property.

06 Recovery of Commercial Debts

We assist businesses in recovering unpaid invoices, trade debts, contractual payments and other commercial receivables. We work closely with clients to develop effective recovery strategies while preserving commercial relationships where possible.

07 Negotiation of Repayment Arrangements

In certain circumstances, negotiated repayment arrangements may offer a practical and cost-effective solution. We assist clients in negotiating, documenting and enforcing repayment plans and settlement arrangements.

08 Insolvency-Related Recovery Actions

Where debtors are experiencing financial difficulties or insolvency, we advise creditors on available recovery options and strategies, including enforcement actions, insolvency proceedings and creditor protection measures.

Insolvency

Insolvency-related advice and representation.

09 Winding-Up Proceedings

We assist creditors, shareholders and other interested parties in initiating or defending winding-up proceedings. We advise clients throughout the process, from assessing grounds for winding up to representation before the competent courts.

10 Statutory Demands

Statutory demands are often an important precursor to insolvency proceedings. We prepare and advise on statutory demands, assess compliance with statutory requirements and assist clients in enforcing their rights where debts remain unpaid.

11 Creditor Enforcement Actions

We assist secured and unsecured creditors in enforcing their rights against defaulting debtors. This includes reviewing available remedies, implementing enforcement strategies and protecting creditor interests throughout insolvency and recovery processes.

12 Advice on Insolvency Risks

We advise companies, directors, lenders and investors on insolvency-related risks and potential exposure. Our objective is to identify risks at an early stage and assist clients in making informed decisions regarding their legal and commercial position.

13 Representation in Insolvency-Related Disputes

Insolvency situations often give rise to disputes involving creditors, directors, shareholders, insolvency practitioners and other stakeholders. We provide representation and strategic advice in relation to such disputes before the relevant courts and tribunals.

14 Debt Restructuring Support

Where a business remains viable, restructuring may provide an alternative to formal insolvency proceedings. We assist companies and stakeholders in evaluating restructuring options, negotiating arrangements and implementing practical solutions designed to restore financial stability.

15 Legal Strategy for Recovery Against Distressed Companies

Recovering debts from financially distressed entities requires a strategic and informed approach. We advise creditors on available recovery mechanisms, security enforcement options, insolvency procedures and legal strategies aimed at maximising recoveries while protecting creditor rights.
